Maybe I'm too nice.

It's funny how one day, a person can seem cute.. and the next day, I could almost care less. Ok, maybe that was a little bit extreme. But regardless, a person gets the plus points, and just as quickly get the minus points...


Anyways... A kid wanted to go 'home' during our daily SAT practice test time today. I asked why, and she said she was sick. Everyone's noonchi all says she is lying. Or at least mine is. But you know, I give her the benefit of the doubt and let her go. Maybe I'm too nice.

Or maybe I don't love my students enough. Not showing the tough love.

But I think my boss is right. 공부잘하는 아이들이 다 예쁘다.

Regardless. I won't answer any of your questions tomorrow. (ok. that's a lie)

In other news... It snowed in Daegu the past couple days. Pretty cool I say. I just like precipitation. Sometimes, I wonder if I should be some kind of weatherman.

And 2010 is already coming to a close... wowie~

팥죽

So apparently in Korea, today is the day where you eat 팥죽. Hmmm, so red bean cognee soup? Haha. I don't know how to translate it.



But I dont have it and no family to eat it with here so i am eating a 비비빅, a red bean ice cream.


I think they it's because it's cold in the winter, and you eat it to warm up. So I think I'm going against the whole purpose of eating red bean.

Hahahaha. peaace out

Christmas Sunday

I cannot believe it's already the 4th advent Sunday. I'll be honest, I totally forgot that it was Christmas Sunday going into church today. In fact, I think I might have almost missed going to church today. I actually didn't/couldn't go last Sunday while I was in Daegu and had to work at 1pm.
But this weekend, I was up in Seoul (how and why for another blog). I actually was gonna go back to Daegu  Saturday night (to work on Sunday again) but my boss told me to just stay the extra day and come back on Sunday. So I did.
I woke up Sunday morning and decided to take advantage of the situation and make my way over to Jubilee Church, an English speaking church in Seoul.
Pastor David Hwang then told us to greet each other in the congregation, "happy 4th advent Sunday"
It was then I realized, "wow, it's the Sunday before Christmas." We were watching the children do their Christmas performances and just made me smile.
And the sermon was on His perfect love. the nitty-gritty non glamorous kind of love. Wowsies, it hit me.

But right now it's almost 3am so I need to sleep. HAHA, cliffhangerrrrrr

And I think I saw Tim the 가수 today.

round 2 of 2010 in korea.

Haha. It seems as if the last time I wrote on my blog, it was when I was in Korea. Well, it's December and I'm back in Daegu again. It's only been a few days since I've landed in Korea.

This will be my first winter in Korea. So chances for a white Christmas is higher (though from I hear, it doesn't really snow in Daegu.. shucks).
So how did I end up here across the world, once again, in Korea? Haha. Funny you should ask. A little over a month ago, my boss came to Atlanta like he does every year. But this time he told me, 'You have to come back to Korea with me and teach.' After some thinking and thinking... I bought my ticket 2 weeks ago. and now I'm here.

Well... Some new first reactions.
I went to the little restaurant I always went to last night. I never had a problem going there by myself. And it was pretty late... I was the only in there, and that's fine... the worker ladies should remember (though most I've never seen before). 5 minutes later, I was next to 3 couples.. Sadness.. I don't want to be alone for Christmas... hahahha
My boss is working working me like usual. I will be starting... today. wow. haha
It's kinda cold.. But it's bearable. Still nothing than what I'm normally used to. But I can handle it. Or maybe I'm just afraid to admit it because I know it will get colder, and I dont want to seem like a wimp. Nah, not a wimp..
The hakwon area... has new changes once again. This is the third time I came here within the past 2 years. And every time, there's a new restaurant/store that wasnt there before. And usually, another store opens up while I'm there too. Well, now I have a "new new" coffee place to go to. I dont have to cross the street to the "new" one from summer.

Well. till next time.
